How fast do you want to go? :D Pipes, Cams, Cold air intake, Bump Compression. Some tweek the TPS for better fuel delivery. Thou I think this is pretty shaky, And the results are hit and miss? Cams are pretty mild for the EFI Models due to there Fuel Edited by user Sunday, 5 February 2006 5:28:01 AM(UTC)

First thing to do would be to fit a set of extractors and a good exhaust system,then a good dyno tune that should get you some power,then go from there.
if it ain't broke we can improve it.
Cheers Steve

Honestly, and not trying to be smart, but in my opinion the cheapest and easiest way to make it go better is to buy an original V8 with a crook body and transfer it all over. These cars are in the papers all the time for $500 - $1500. Bang for buck you wo |

You can take the head out to 40thou that will give you about 10:1, the cam is not mild it is about the same as the XU1, except retarded at low speed to allow lower emissions, extractors are standard, how much do you want to spend?
